After reading, listening, and watching this week’s material, I gained a lot of knowledge regarding AR. I wanted to discuss the future of AR and the impact of AR application in multi-media teaching. To begin, AR has become a lot more attainable for the general population as it can be available on mobile devices. That being said, the use of mobile devices is still limited in today’s classroom. For instance, my generation, millennials, were frowned upon or even forbidden from using cellphones in the classroom. That being said, as we progress and grow more comfortable with technology, we realized we should use it to our benefit rather than punish it. For example, when TV was first introduced into the classroom, many were hesitant that it would take away from the student learning experience. Now, we have moved beyond that point of view and have progressed drastically. I am hopeful and optimistic that a similar change also occurring with cellphones. We will slowly begin to accept these devices as they are incorporated in so many different aspects of one’s daily life. To add, they provide many resources that are reachable at our fingertips, such as AR. 

AR also has many benefits in the classroom. AR allows the student to build their own experiences with the educational material as they are able to actually view it. AR provides a fun and integrative way for students to engage with the course material. Students can see the material right before their eyes, literally (Vlasova, 2020). Also, AR combines images and auditory material which helps students better retain the information (Vlasova, 2020). 

AR seems to shift the way education is being delivered. There is a lot of potential with this type of technology. As technology progress, AR will continue to evolve in all aspect of life, including education.
